This is a long but very interesting book. It keeps you on your toes as there are many characters to follow. I like how it flows from one family to the other but keeps you connected to the story line. Good historical detail, learning curve, keeps you looking for more and can't wait to see what comes next. If you were not well informed about first world war and the involvement of Russia and America then you will be by the end and fascinated to know more. I love history especially when it is told in this dramatic way.
